Hi, I'm James.

Balado Home Repair started in 2020 from a love of helping neighbors fix up their homes. Today, we operate as a family-run business based in Rockingham, NC.

Our approach to the work is simple: we show up on time, communicate clearly, work carefully, and always clean up. Whether it's a quick fix or a larger project, it gets our absolute best.

“James did a great job on our 4 bedroom window treatments. He installed our curtain rods and put the curtains on. 10/10 would recommend. He was very attentive; he did the job exactly how we wanted. We will be returning for more jobs in the future. Thank you James!”

“Everything went well from quick response for initial quote, ease of recommendation for correct TV mount, onto the counter service! He took time to ask questions on how I wanted everything to look and found a floating shelf I needed and installed that for very reasonable price! 100 stars!”
